@sdetweil :thumbs_up:

@sdetweil I understand that now, but I already made it
and it works perfectly. in the future I will have 2 choices now

The reason I was looking for something like this. I want to generate a separate mirror for testing. That way if it crashes I won’t have to worry about it because all files and folders will be separated from the 2nd mirror folder
the 2 separate magic mirrors will work perfectly for me. I will definitely consider your 2nd option. In the future

@sdetweil I am aware of that. now Sam, I did not know we could do all that.
In the future I will have 2 options now
But following your instructions that you gave me

I wanted to thank you very much for the help that you gave me
I followed your instructions that you gave me after several tries, I now have
2 MagicMirror folders one is labeled MagicMirror and the 2nd 1 I labeled
MagicMirror_First_Mirror
and both folders are now listed in pm2

│ 1 │ FirstMirror │ fork │ 0 │ stopped │ 0% │ 0b │

│ 0 │ MagicMirror │ fork │ 0 │ stopped │ 0% │ 0b

Thank you very much for your help.
I would be happy to post my procedures. for other beginners If you like.
Just let me know and I will post it here. It’s my way of giving back to this site for all the hard work everyone does

@sdetweil okay I think I get it
so just to make sure my current magic mirror folder is called
I will be renaming that MagicMirror_1st_mirror
not shouldn’t hurt anything. It should start as normal

@sdetweil okay I think I understand. I will give it a try . I am going to make my new magic mirror in a couple of days
wanted feedback 1st before I start

I appreciate the response
I will let you know how it goes

So I have my 1st magicmirror completed for quite some time now and it works perfectly. it Does everything I want. Good job guys on creating all the modules for it. I normally start it by using a very simple script, inside is
pm2 start MagicMirror
and it’s executed in terminal mode

I want to create another magicmirror from scratch. but I want to keep the one I have
I could call my new one magicmirror2, When it’s completed
I would like to be able to start either 1 by using pm2 . If this is possible
can you please tell me how to do this

has anybody tried this

Sorry it took so long to reply back. I’ve been kinda busy
I finally had time to upgrade MMM-GmailFeed
everything went fine and is running perfectly :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Thank you everyone for your help :thumbs_up:

@unfriendlydevice thanks for that. I will look into it and reinstall it and see what happens

@sdetweil I actually tried the 1st, but I could not find a place to open up an issue.
That’s why I posted here. Hopefully, he would see it

So I ran into a problem

when I installed the new update for MMM-GmailFeedand that’s when I ran into a problem
I have Googleassistant from bugsounet installed on my magic mirror
when magic mirror starts and MMM-GmailFeed loads and checked my email. But the problem is, it blocking Googleassistant from loading .
I tested this several ways
I stopped the updates on GmailFeed and Googleassistant worked.
I also did a disable of the module and again Googleassistant worked .
It’s whatever GmailFeed starts Google assistance does not load
I loaded the previous version of GmailFeed and everything works perfectly. So there is something in the new version is causing the problem

Has anyone else had this problem

I am having an unusual problem with it. It is preventing Googleassistant from bugsounet from loading
I tested this 3 times by disabling the update and another one disabling the module and finally I reinstalled the previous version and everything worked perfectly, so I don’t understand what’s going on here

@bugsounet got it. Just trying to help

@josha try this site
http://forum.bugsounet.fr/
you can probably get help from their

@sdetweil okay I understand. I thought it was something else I thought you could add notification somehow and disable it that way

But it’s working now. I appreciate your help

@sdetweil Under the Pacific module in the config.js
I heard there was something I can add their that would do the same thing. Is that true
where you would just enter disable true or false

@sdetweil ooooo ok I see it now. I can’t believe I missed that
thanks for helping a blind man:grinning_squinting_face:

So I’m trying to stop the notification alert for a Pacific module.
So when I follow the instructions on magic mirror website. It doesn’t seem to work. So here’s the configuration just in case I’m doing it wrong

module: "updatenotification",			
position: "top_center",
ignoreModules: ["MMM-mymodule"]
},

So if I’m doing something wrong. I don’t know what it is.
This module is not part of the default modules of magic mirror

So I hope someone can help

@sdetweil sorry it’s been so long since I replied to this form.
So I wanted to just let you know I did make my own backup and restore scripts.
The backup is pretty simple. It just makes a copy of my modules folder and stores it in a safe place.

The restore is a little bit different. It will restore the module folder to its original location and then use npm install in each folder.
It worked perfectly

I tested it Under virtual disk. I install magic. Mayor the traditional way and then use my restore program and it worked perfectly.

I wanted to thank you for all your help and your ideas

@sdetweil hey thanks a lot. I appreciate that
I will definitely check it out
I kind of made my own. It’s very basic but seems to do the trick
it is menu-driven so I can choose which modules I want to backup or restore
I’m fairly new at writing scripts. They are a lot of fun

@sdetweil forgot to ask
so the git remote -v
we’ll get all its information from my original config.js
is that correct
